Every odor you can smell, pleasant or not, is a volatile organic compound (VOC). Compounds can become an issue at room temperature when they off-gas as hazardous chemicals.
These can become a health issue for sensitive individuals when mixing with other airborne chemicals. Odors can be a problem in homes, offices, nursing facilities, health clubs, spas, nightclubs, etc. Odors can originate from a variety of sources. Mold, rotting materials, pets, spills, soil, and smoke to name a few. Routine cleaning can help, but sometimes professional help is needed. IAQM utilizes specialized decontamination techniques and equipment to control and/or eliminate these problems.
